What can I calculate with this tool?

You can calculate required cover thickness, estimate the volume of materials needed, and predict the long-term performance of the cover system.

How do I get the necessary input data?

Use `get_tailings_profile` to retrieve physical and chemical properties of the deposit and `get_climatic_data` to fetch site-specific weather parameters.

Does this support oxygen barrier design?

Yes, by setting the objective to 'oxygen_barrier' in the `calculate_cover_thickness` tool, the system designs for minimizing oxygen diffusion.

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing tailings closure covers. It integrates tailings characteristics and climatic data to determine necessary cover thickness and material requirements. Users can use calculate_cover_thickness to define layer depths for oxygen barriers or infiltration control, and estimate_material_requirements to quantify construction needs. The server also includes predict_cover_performance to simulate long-term effectiveness against environmental objectives.
